(AP) — Police appealed for calm Thursday in a tense Memphis neighborhood where a rock-throwing crowd gathered after federal marshals fatally shot a black man who, authorities said, had rammed a police vehicle with a stolen car. Thirty-six officers suffered minor injuries from flying rocks and bricks in the hours following the death of 20-year-old Brandon Webber, who was killed Wednesday evening after he exited the car holding some type of weapon, authorities said. Webber had been wanted in a June 3 shooting that happened during a car theft in Hernando, Mississippi. The victim was shot five times and survived. The car was the one used to ram the police vehicle, according to DeSoto County, Mississippi, District Attorney John Champion, who spoke Thursday at a news conference. . . . Anyone I got ideas?

To avoid situations like this, can't a stun gun be used rather than killing someone outright? Just wondering?
FYI Taser devices can be used both close and far range. Upon firing, Taser devices shoot two metal probe darts a distance of 15 feet to reach an attacker before he reaches you. The Taser can also be used as a direct contact stun gun, allowing for close proximity self defense. still has no program to deal with an area in a State of Riot. 1) Read something akin to the Riot Act that anyone who does not clear the area in ten minutes is subject to force and arrest. 2) While corralling for arrest processing, announce the ten minutes is up and those that remain get Gassed, Sprayed, Light or Audio or Microwave or Water Cannon help. And will be arrested. Rioting remains an unenforced crime. Associated with arson, theft, injuries, deaths. Go figure
Nope, not when the other person is armed in any way. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Got what he deserved.
Gotta love the headline... Memphis police appeal for calm after marshals kill black man It's SUPER important that everyone knows that it was a black guy shot by law enforcement. It's almost as if the intent is to trigger other minorities and identity politics types.
I think stun guns would require up close and personal contact. I wouldn't want to walk towards someone who appeared to be holding a weapon. The "black man" was a cold blooded killer. He shot someone five times in the process of committing a crime. I say good riddance to him. For the retard rioters, any excuse to get on the victimhood bandwagon, and to cause trouble. As has been said a million times before, blacks could care less when blacks are killing other blacks. No riots, no protests. I especially liked the "political activist" though.
No, a stun gun in this situation was not probably the right answer. But if police hurting they don't have to hurt (this case is not one of those, I think), a reckoning is coming for the blue line from the citizens, I do believe.
Memphis...has to be run by Democrats. Memphis is located in Shelby County one of the few blue counties in Tennessee that went with Crooked Hillary bigly. Hillary got 2/3 of the low information votes in 2016 in Shelby County.
Okay I realize this situation was bad because the driver had killed someone, but there are cases where innocent people are killed because the police had reacted too fast. What if they could react fast with something that wasn't as lethal as a gun. Wouldn't that be better?
I am guessing it is because of the number of black people who have been killed by the police without even having a weapon. Sounds like they have lost the trust of the population. I also agree that a taser or something similar should be used rather than a Gun though they themselves are very dangerous and kill people.
The black Gangster Disciples of Memphis have put out an APB to kill any law enforcement officer in Mississippi. And all over a rotten, no good criminal. It's time for the law enforcement community to fight, serve, and protect instead of just serve and protect.
You haven't moved from wanting to give up the rule of law. You are just claiming you have the right not to go by the rule of law because he did not.
Search: FBI statistics murder race gender You will find a table that indicates 90% of killed Black people are killed by other Black people. And I do not mean Black police officers. If Black Lives Matter, "they" need to address the 90%! Moi Blue Lives Matter Is that a Black person killing a Smurf?
